    So you’re heading to the Happiest Place on Earth? If kids are in tow, you know it will be a challenge to keep it happy. You did all the early legwork—booking the perfect Airbnb near Disney and getting your 3-year-old appropriately acclimated by viewing some of the best Disney movies —so how do you make sure your actual time in the parks lives up to expectations? Well, I’ve been to Walt Disney World more times than I can count (as a kid and an adult), and I can tell you, it never disappoints. But it does get tiring. So while you might be on the fence about bringing a double stroller to Disney because of the hassle—packing it, parking it before rides, folding it up on the plane, dealing with crowds etc.—and regulations (we’ll get into that below), err on the side of a double stroller. You will regret not having one to hold your belongings, offer a place for one kid to nap while the other gets in line for Space Mountain and, most importantly, give yourself a break and a place to hold your Dole Whip . So, without further ado, here are the best Disney-approved double strollers to get you from the Magic Kingdom to Epcot and everywhere in between.

    The Best Disney-Approved Double Strollers at a Glance

    What Is Disney's Policy for Double Strollers?

    The guidelines for double strollers at Walt Disney World Resort are pretty straightforward. They state that strollers cannot be more than 31” (79 cm) in width and 52” (132cm) in length. Unfortunately, stroller wagons are also not permitted. Other stroller rules include:

    How I Chose the Best Disney-Approved Double Strollers

    I chose these particular Disney-approved double strollers by polling parents with two or more kids who have put these models to use on a regular basis. I also used my own experience testing double strollers with my two kids. And of course I scoped the general consensus for various doubles from Disney blogs and discussion groups.

    1. UPPAbaby Vista V2 + RumbleSeat V2

    Alexia Dellner

    We talk about the UPPAbaby Vista V2 a lot here…and for good reason. It’s the all-in-one workhorse of a stroller system that grows with your family, accommodating up to three children. It’s versatile, durable, and designed for comfort, making it a fantastic choice for a Disney trip. Alexia Dellner , PureWow Executive Editor, raves about her stroller that she’s pushed around for years now:  “It's sturdy, (I've pushed it over forest terrain and cobbled European streets), and it has tons of storage space ( diaper bag ? no problem). I knew that pushing two small kids would be tough so I definitely wanted something that could handle all that weight, and the UPPAbaby does, no problem. The seats are also spacious, and you can connect your infant car seat into the stroller, which is super convenient.” Dellner also appreciates that are multiple figurations, which, at a Disney park can come in handy when one kid needs to nap and the other one is in and out saying hi to Chip and Dale.

    Note: The Vista V2 can fit three kids with a RumbleSeat V2+ and PiggyBack , however, it’s not totally clear if the PiggyBack (aka the scooter-like attachment) is Disney-approved, so you may be safer having your older kid in a great pair of walking shoes.

    2. Baby Jogger City Select Double Stroller

    Jillian Quint

    Ideal for families with two young children, the Baby Jogger City Select Double offers 16 different seating configurations, which means it can change with your plans and needs during a hectic trip. It’s durable, easy to maneuver, and provides ample storage​, which can store all the Mickey Mouse ears you please. PureWow Editor in Chief Jillian Quint loved that her two growing kids could easily—and comfortably—fit through different stages in their lives: “When my daughter was a newborn,” Quint shares, “we inserted her car seat, then when she was old enough, we plopped in the second stroller seat and put her in that.” Like the UPPABaby VistaV2, there are so many configurations (seats can go forward or backward, face each other, etc.), making it amenable to an all-day, action-packed Disney trip with kids who may need different things (i.e. a nap or a snack). Also, Quint likes that the stroller was narrow so that she wasn’t bulldozing any oncoming traffic, a major plus for a Disney vacation if you’re nervous about hauling a double-wide stroller through angry (er, happy) crowds. All this said, the Baby Jogger City Select Double is the heaviest stroller on this list, so if air-travel ease is a must-have for your family, I wouldn’t recommend this one. If you’re driving to Disney, however, that’s another story—one with a happy ending.

    3. Zoe TwinV2

    Dara Katz

    As for a side-by-side double stroller, I love the Zoe TwinV2. Can it fold up small enough to fit in the overhead compartment on a flight? Nah. We’re in double territory now, but it’s still considered the lightest and most compact doubles on the market. So if you’re making a long trek to Disney with two in tow, this could be a winner.  I find it easy to fold, easy to maneuver, and easy to convince my toddler to hop on in. Even though it’s pretty lean for a double-wide, it’s roomy and comfy for both kids. They can interact or do their own thing. I also appreciate that the shade offers full coverage, which is not just important for the blazing sun or rain, but also key for the high-intensity stimulation of Disney. I also love the easy five-point harnesses that are easy on my fine motor skills, even with swollen hands after a long day in the sun.

    4. Mockingbird Single-to-Double 2.0 +
    2nd Seat Kit

    Alyce Tassoni

    Mom of twins, Alyce Tassoni, PureWow Director, Brand Partnerships, put the Mockingbird Single-to-Double to use almost immediately after her twins arrived: “I used this stroller three to five times a week with my twins from ages 0 to 1. In their first 2 months, I could fit both twins in the bassinet attachment to nap on short walks together in our neighborhood.” When they grew out of that, Tassoni added car seat adapters. And after that, she switched them to the regular seats. Maybe one of the best features of the Mockingbird, Tassoni shares, is that she can open and close the stroller easily with one hand—huge for parents who often have no hands. Another major point for the Mockingbird from a mom of twins is the storage: “The stroller also has a very large storage basket on the bottom—larger than the Zoe!” Double the child, double the sh*t you have to tote around with you. Thank you for the extra storage, Mockingbird.
